Assuming 4GB/disk in a 1/4" box you get 34M miles which is the closest distance between earth and mars so they must be 8GB disks. Put them on 100 GB BluRay disks and toss the boxes and it would be 260K miles, just past the moon. Put them in a pile on a football field, it would be 1100 feet tall. Put them in the Sears tower, and you'd have some leftovers. Spread the 17B disks across the land surface of the earth (1,488,000B sq ft) and you'd have 1 disk every other acre, plenty of room for disks and people.
